Not Counting Node(s) Towards Trophy Points

[Steve Freides]

Something I can do is not count a specific node in New Posts. This is how it seems to be configured:

ACP, Nodes, pick a node, Advance Options, then
Include threads from this forum when users click "New posts"

Something I cannot do is not count a specific node when awarding Trophy Points based on Post Count - is there a way to do this, is there an existing add-on required and, if so, link, please. It would be something like what's above but:

ACP, Nodes, pick a node, Advance Options, then
Include posts from this forum counting posts for trophy points

Thanks in advance for your replies.

If posts from certain nodes don't count for trophy points and you're relying on post count, why not disable the setting below for each node that doesn't count?



By disabling this, it removes post counts from the specific forum and those messages don't count to the member's total posts. (thus, impacting the trophy plan you mentioned) However, if you enabled this, it's not automatically retroactive. You'll have to run a query to rebuild member post counts. You can use this resource to help rebuild your post counts.

Alternatively, you would need custom development to add the option that you wish.

What you're suggesting is a good idea and thanks for that - we may try it. But it's not exactly what I want. I'd still like posts in those nodes counted towards the user's total as seen elsewhere, just not towards the user's total when we're awarding trophies. That would be my ideal solution.
